She was a red, and came from the Warlock line. She turned out to be the smartest dog I had ever seen. She loved me with total devotion. When I was not at work, she was my constant companion. <BR/><BR/>She was a big girl. about 100 Lb. and my fierce defender. But she could read people quickly (or maybe me I guess) and she never growled at anyone who was my friend. My bud would tease her like he was going to sneak up and whack my head. She had his arm imobilized in less than a second. Then she would lick him profusely as if to say I'm sorry, but you can't do that, even if I like you.<BR/><BR/>Liz, I truly feel your pain. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about her.<BR/><BR/>She picked Stormy, my wife, also. After the first fear of such a big dog, she fell in love with her. Brandy would have defended my Stormy to the death.<BR/><BR/>And Lee, You are a good friend.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623619259294255298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-85969171385596756482007-08-03T06:41:00.000-07:002007-08-03T06:41:00.000-07:00Liz needs a copy of "All God's Creatures Go To Hea...Liz needs a copy of "All God's Creatures Go To Heaven by N.

As do cats...Pushkin my ginger cat I had before these two I have now became very distressed when he saw me sobbing after the death of my brother...to the stage, I stopped crying because he was becoming very distressed...he was gasping. It was really strange...but I know, he was crying along with me.<BR/><BR/>Hi Connie...yes, our four-legged friends are so much a part of our lives.

I know how hard it is when we lose a beloved pet ... they are part of our family, part of our lives, a huge part of our hearts. Bundy sounded like a wonderful dog, too. I think we should all feel especially privileged when we are loved by a 4-legged friend ... they don't have to love us, they choose to.<BR/>Take care, MeowMeow (aka Connie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05806724258331021528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-76717699459230076272007-08-02T15:43:00.000-07:002007-08-02T15:43:00.000-07:00Nice tribute, Lee.

She was a black lab who, liked Bundy, would sit next to you on the sofa and pretty soon would be in your lap. And big dog, small lap.<BR/><BR/>That dog got along with everyone, even a stray cat that my roommate adopted too. Peaches would play with the cat and giggle. I swear . . . giggle.<BR/><BR/>To this day I miss that dog, even though he wasn't mine and I only knew him a few months. Dogs can make you feel like that.Big Dave Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363712781308133633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-12522792661001251432007-08-02T10:50:00.000-07:002007-08-02T10:50:00.000-07:00It has warmed up some, Merle...not sure what the t...It has warmed up some, Merle...not sure what the temperature was here up on the mountain.

She didn't know she was a cat. she didn't claw (though she had them), she didn't jump up on things (always looked at you until you lifted her)..she just didn't know she was supposed to do those things.. 9 yrs ago.
